Download an enhanced quality reading voice: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
VoiceOver > Speech, tap a language, then choose an enhanced voice. By default,
VoiceOver uses the Siri voice. If you’re using English, you can choose to download Alex
(869 MB), the same high-quality U.S. English voice used for VoiceOver on Mac
computers.
Use the onscreen keyboard
When you activate an editable text field, the onscreen keyboard appears (unless you have
an Apple Wireless Keyboard attached).
Activate a text field. Select the text field, then double-tap. The insertion point and the
onscreen keyboard appear.
Choose a typing style. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Typing
Style. Or, set the rotor to Typing Mode, then swipe up or down.
Enter text. Type characters using the onscreen keyboard:
Standard typing: Select a key on the keyboard by swiping left or right, then double-tap to
enter the character. Or move your finger around the keyboard to select a key and, while
continuing to touch the key with one finger, tap the screen with another finger. VoiceOver
speaks the key when it’s selected, and again when the character is entered.
Touch typing: Touch a key on the keyboard to select it, then lift your finger to enter the
character. If you touch the wrong key, slide your finger to the key you want. VoiceOver
speaks the character for each key as you touch it, but doesn’t enter a character until you
lift your finger.
Direct Touch typing: VoiceOver is disabled for the keyboard only, so you can type just
as you do when VoiceOver is off.
Move the insertion point. Swipe up or down to move the insertion point forward or
backward in the text. Use the rotor to choose whether you want to move the insertion point
by character, by word, or by line. To jump to the beginning or end, double-tap the text.
VoiceOver makes a sound when the insertion point moves, and speaks the character, word,
or line that the insertion point moves across. When moving forward by words, the insertion
point is placed at the end of each word, before the space or punctuation that follows. When
moving backward, the insertion point is placed at the end of the preceding word, before the
space or punctuation that follows it.
